>>Smart has nothing to do with ignorant. She got her stuff on evolution from Dembski, who promised to back her up.<<
She's too smart to believe what she is saying is what I was saying - I think her anti-evolution stand is strategic.
I abandoned my father's political party 35 years ago because it embraced hippdippy new age anti-intellectualism. For a while now the Republicans have been the party with ideas. They are blowing it to smithereens.
If by that you mean "is to sell books," I agree.
Yes. Of course. It is obviously drawing the far religious right, who might normally be less trashy and "out there" to her side. It's also restoring her ultraconservative image that is being lost with all her chutzpah and MSM pandering.
I think her anti-evolution stand is strategic.
Oh, I think she believes it. When someone goes through that much trouble to take a stand, present an argument, and make a point that forcefully and unequivocally, I think they believe it. Add to that, to my knowledge, there is no evidence she's ever before written anything she didn't believe. That she's making a lot of money doing this is irrelevant.
